Dawn of a new day
I evidently have been getting enough sleep over the past few days.
For the first time in years, am up early enough to watch the dawn.
The birds are chirping their hearts out in the trees just beyond the balcony - and the light is this hazy hue of grey and blue - that strange in between time when night has not totally left and the morning is *just* beginning.
I haven't voluntarily woken up so early in Singapore for years.
Most of the time, I'm trying to catch that five extra winks - and Gene has to haul himself out of bed far earlier than little ole me. This time, he's still sleeping - wow. That's a big change in status quo. That will however change in about 15 minutes or so.
Actually early mornings are not associated with good things here in Singapore - c'mon, we all had to haul our asses to school by 7.15 am no? And at 6.30 am I'd a) be feverishly trying to get into my uniform with mom and dad yelling at me to hurry up b) be completely and totally tired and unispired to go to school c) going "oh crap, I forgot that piece of homework". Sometimes I'd be so tired that I'd fall asleep on the bed with my uniform on... it was that bad.
It's become much brighter in the minutes since I started typing this entry. Night has withdrawn her mantle, but Mr Sun is having a slight problem today...clouds, lots of them. Looks like another cold/rainy morning although I have hopes that by the pm, there'll be some sun, so we can go swimming... last few chances to afterall!
The last round of packing today - most of the cupboards have been cleared out, I'll just have to mkae sure the nitty gritty and these electronica, including the modem, are packed up safe and sound - last two nights in this apartment.
I will miss it.
From Tintonque's blog: Vid about ahem... folding clothes. VERY useful right now.
So inspired that I actually went to get a t-shirt from gene's room. It takes a couple of replays and several tries but it works quite well.
